THEY

When words fall silent, the body speaks the truth.

THEY is a visceral, wordless dance film that dives into the depths of human emotion, identity, and connection. Through bodies in motion, it explores themes of freedom, love, desire, and the silent battles we carry within. The performers - queer, transgender, non-binary, and allies - come from diverse walks of life, uniting through movement to tell a story that transcends language.

Contact improvisation, acrobatics, and meditation-inspired gestures merge with raw, intimate choreography - forming a tapestry where skin meets skin, and truth is felt rather than spoken. In a world stripped of words, the body becomes the only voice: trembling with joy, tension, vulnerability, and release.

Costumes shift like second skins, revealing the many selves we carry and conceal. THEY is not about one person, but about all of us - the search, the surrender, the struggle, and the quiet power of becoming fully alive. A portrait of transformation, and the awakening that follows.

THEY is not a name - it’s a mirror.

Looking for performers: queer and non-binary artists, LGBTQ+ dancers, contact improvisation artists, contemporary dancers, physical theatre performers, movement artists, experimental movers, performance artists, circus performers, aerialists, fire artists, and interdisciplinary creators.
